Procedure – Installing Host Bus Adapters
1.
Go to
http://www.lsi.com/compatibilitymatrix/
, and select the desired Developer
Partner Program link. Check its Compatibility Matrix to make sure you have an acceptable
configuration.
The Compatibility Matrix provides this information:
–
The latest hardware compatibility information
–
The models of the HBAs that are supported
–
The firmware requirements and the software requirements for the HBAs
2.
Install your HBA according to the vendor documentation.
3.
Install the latest version of the firmware for the HBA. You can find the latest version of
the firmware for the HBA at the HBA vendor website.
4.
Reboot or start your host.
5.
While your host is booting, look for the prompt to access the HBA BIOS utility.
6.
Select each HBA to view its HBA host port world wide name.
7.
Record the following information for each host and for each HBA connected to the
storage array:
–
The name of each host
–
The HBAs in each host
–
The HBA host port world wide name of each port on the HBA
The following table shows examples of the host and HBA information that you must record.
NOTICE!
If your operating system is Windows Server 2008 Server Core, you might have additional
installation requirements. Refer to the Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN) for more
information about Windows Server 2008 Server Core. You can access these resources from
www.microsoft.com
.
NOTICE!
The remaining steps are general steps to obtain the HBA host port world wide name from the
HBA BIOS utility. If you have installed the host context agent on all of your hosts, you do not
need to perform these steps. If you are performing these steps, the actual prompts and
screens vary depending on the vendor that provides the HBA. Also, some HBAs have software
utilities that you can use to obtain the world wide name for the port instead of using the BIOS
utility.
